      I was under the impression that it was Israel invading Gaza.

          From an outsider, the US has always looked like the lapdog tbh. Not that I disagree that Biden (and every other president before and after him) should have been telling Israel to fuck off.

            I mean…AmeriKKKa is way bigger, way richer, and way more powerful than Pi$$rael, all by a country mile. And Pi$$rael can’t survive economically or strategically without AmeriKKKan aid.

            Like I do get where your view comes from, especially with Trump basically giving Netanyahu whatever he wants and Biden having done the same thing except for going to war with Iran.

            Actually, even if the dominance relationship was reversed, i.e. even if Pi$$rael did control AmeriKKKa, this would not change the fact that AmeriKKKa sent aid and weapons to Pi$$rael all throughout the Gaza genocide. So while I do think it is important to clarify the dominance hierarchy between Pi$$rael and AmeriKKKa for other reasons (e.g. in pursuit of a coherent analysis of Pi$$rael as a vassal state of AmeriKKKa , although sometimes a belligerent vassal), here we can agree to disagree about the direction of the dominance relation and mutually conclude based on the facts that AmeriKKKa , and in particular its figureheads Trump and Biden, are demonic genocidal entities which are deeply responsible for the Gaza genocide.

                I mean usually I don’t use the emojis that much, but I had to use the words AmeriKKKa (AmeriKKKa) and Pi$$rael (Pi$$rael) a few times, and I just find and replace every instance with its burning flag. I refuse to give these settler-colonial projects even the minimal dignity of spelling their names correctly.

          If Netanyahu just says nope to Trump’s peace plan, why would he say yes to Biden’s?

          And Reagan didn’t achieve shit - Israel carried on building in the occupied territories regardless, and they only abandoned their war in Lebanon because it was going badly. Reagan did telephone the Israeli prime minister but the Israeli cabinet had already voted to stop the campaign that day, but of course Reagan wanted to take credit for that and announced how stern he was on the phone and the American news outlets of course delighted in fluff pieces praising the president for stopping the war. But that’s all it was. Fluff.

          So, no, your “American president can stop Israeli wars with one phone call” is BS,

            America supplied the weapons to do the genocide. If America stops supplying the weapons, no more genocide. Are you 12?

              Username does not check out.

              I think you have oversimplified somewhat.

              You don’t think Israel has a teensy bit put by for a rainy day? I do. You don’t think Israel has a domestic arms industry? I think they export a great deal. You don’t think there are other suppliers than the USA willing to sell arms to an aggressor? I do. You don’t think electing trump is the worst thing America could have done for the people of Gaza? I do.
